Missionary With CAT

The missionary is one of the basic sex positions but it has a significant drawback: many vagina owners can’t climax with it. But did you know you can spice things up by being a bit creative? One small adjustment is called CAT or Coital Alignment Technique, and it lets you stimulate the outside of your partner’s genitals, resulting in an earth-shattering orgasm.

While other positions focus on penetrative pleasure, CAT focuses on a grinding motion on the clitoral area, making it perfect for women who can’t cum by deeper penetration alone. In addition, some couples think the grinding action is more intimate than the good ol’ thrusting, so you get more variety in the bedroom, too. Yay, two birds with one stone!

The CAT Missionary position is a bit challenging to learn, but once you have it down, you can give her intense orgasms. Trust us. She’ll thank you for it!

How to do it:

  1. The vagina owner lay on their back and place a pillow below the hips (hips slightly raised) while spreading the legs comfortably.
  2. The penis owner lay on top while aligning their genitals.
  3. The vulva owner should insert at least the penis head (or strap-on) into the vagina.
  4. Now, the pair grind their genitals by moving in small circles.

Lying Doggy (Prone)

Doggy Style Sex Position With Pillow

The doggy is another basic position known for its deeper penetration, allowing you to access the G-spot with ease. But there are significant drawbacks to this position. First, you don’t maintain eye contact. However, this doesn’t bother most women, who are okay with having sex without looking into their lover’s eyes,

The second issue is the strain it puts on the woman’s arms. This particular drawback is a bit more serious since it can become tiring to support her weight while on all fours, making orgasms less likely. Thankfully, this can be remedied with the prone position.

In the prone (AKA lying doggy), the female can support herself by placing pillows under her body during intercourse, allowing their male partners to penetrate their pussy deeply with each thrust. Meanwhile, the wedge will keep the woman comfortable.

Similar to traditional doggy, this great position also works well for anal sex. But in the lying doggy position, the woman is more relaxed and can focus on receiving pleasure, making it one of the best positions for women to orgasm.

How to do it:

  1. The woman would lay in a prone position with a sex wedge or pillow beneath her.
  2. The man would be behind in a kneeling position.
  3. Enter and start humping away!

The Spoon

Spooning Position

Do you sometimes have the urge to have sex but are too tired to even move a muscle? Look no further than the spooning position! It’s relaxing, easy, and pleasurable, and it’s one of the best sex positions for women because they stay comfy throughout the ride.

Most importantly, nobody will be top or bottom because you’ll be lying on your side from start to finish. In addition, it’s very intimate because you can wrap your lover in a tight embrace while having orgasmic sex.

The penetration angle is excellent for female orgasm, too. Though you won’t do much hard thrusting, you can use your fingers to stimulate her clitoris. She’ll be purring like a kitten and spreading her legs wider to give you better access.

If you’re into morning sex, the spoon is your best option since you don’t need to leave the bed. Plus, you avoid the morning breath issue because you are not facing each other. How convenient, right?

How to do it:

  1. The man and the woman will lay on their sides.
  2. The man will be the big spoon (the person behind), and the woman will be the little spoon (the person in front).
  3. The man enters and begins the thrusting action.

Missionary With Sex Wedge

Missionary With Sex Wedge

The missionary is a classic position and every couple knows it like the back of their hands. Yet, there are a couple of improvements to make it even more orgasmic for women.

We talked about CAT above, but did you know you can also place a sex wedge under the woman’s hips to make sex more comfortable and change the hip angle for more pleasure? Yep, plus it encourages deep penetration, too!

Wedges are excellent sexual aids because they bring the woman’s hip to an optimal angle. This specific angle makes the man’s thrusting motions more pleasurable for women. Don’t have a sex wedge? Just use a regular couch pillow. Place it below her hips and pump away!

Pro Tip: You can change the angle and penetration depth by adding more pillows.

How to do it:

  1. The woman is on her back with a sex wedge on her lower back area.
  2. The man will be on top, facing the woman.
  3. He must adjust the angle of her hips to hers so that their genitals are aligned.

Oral Sex

There’s often the misconception that penetrative sex is the way to go. But did you know that oral sex is just as good, if not better, and if done correctly, can bring a lot of orgasms for women? Unlike penile sex, cunnilingus involves multiple stimulations of various erogenous spots like the labia and clitoris. In my opinion, it’s the best sex position for women to achieve an earth-shattering climax.

In addition, oral isn’t all about kissing, licking, and sucking a woman’s vagina. You can incorporate hands to make it even more pleasurable. For example, you can rim her anus while stimulating her clitoris with your fingers. You can also flip the script by licking her clit while fingering her.

This great position is also very diverse, for example, the 69, where each of you gives and receives at the same time. Don’t forget sex toys, too. For example, you can try using anal toys while licking the clit and fingering the vagina. If fingers aren’t enough, try inserting a dildo inside her vagina while nipping at her clit. You’ll be treating her to multiple orgasms in no time!

How to do it:

  1. The woman should be in a comfortable sexual position (either lying or sitting).
  2. The man should adjust accordingly so his mouth is aligned with her genitals.
  3. Now the licking commences!

Edge Of The Bed

This position is exactly as the name suggests: the woman is at the edge of the bed with her legs spread open. And the man will then be in a standing position in between the woman’s legs.

If you love deep penetrative sex, this one’s for you. The legs are open wide, and the hips are at a good angle for G-spot stimulation. The male can hold his partner’s legs or have them on his shoulder, or the woman can wrap her legs around his hips to assert a bit more dominance.

Those who love eye contact will find it ideal as you can look deep into your lover’s eyes. One look at their face, and you know whether you’re doing it right or wrong, and you can adjust accordingly. You can even exchange some dirty talking to keep each other hornier.

But there’s even more you can do with this position. For example, you can include your favorite sex toys or use your fingers for clitoral stimulation. Let your imagination run wild!

How to do it:

  1. The woman is on the edge of the bed with her legs spread open, dangling over the corners.
  2. The man will stand in front between his partner’s legs.
  3. Enter and start pumping away!

The Amazon

Amazon Sex Position

The Amazon sex position is an innovative and fun sexual position that allows you to maintain eye contact during intercourse. What makes it unique is the reverse roles: the man lies on his back with legs pulled toward his chest while the woman is in between his legs.

Even though this position looks challenging and awkward, it gives you access to great depths of penetration. Never mind if it’s difficult at first because when you get adjusted to it, it will take you to greater heights!

I like to say that the Amazon is a combination of cowgirl and missionary, the main difference being the position of the man’s legs during intercourse. The couple is more in control of the movements, too.

How to do it:

  1. The man is on his back while pulling his knees toward his chest.
  2. The woman should kneel between her partner’s legs while facing him.
  3. While in a crouching position, the woman must slide her torso between the man’s bent legs.

The Scissor

Simple Scissors Sex Position

The scissor is an often misunderstood sex position, and whoever said it’s just for lesbian couples hasn’t tried it yet. While it’s true it’s popular among lesbians, many straight couples are fond of it, too.

Some people also believe that you can’t do penetrative sex with the scissor position. Wrong again. You need to play around a bit to find the right angle, but once you find it, you’ll be able to experience deep penetration like there’s no tomorrow!

However, if you are not in the mood for penetrative sex, the woman can rub her vagina against the man’s inner thighs and pubic bone. In addition, due to the angle, this position allows you to easily add sex toys, such as a wand vibrator (wand vibrator positions here).

How to do it

  1. The couple positions themselves on a comfortable surface, facing each other with their legs spread.
  2. The woman places one leg on top of the man’s, while the man’s second leg is on top of the woman’s (like two scissors put together).
  3. Now, the couple moves closer until their genitals meet or the woman’s crotch reaches the grinding area. She can also hold onto her partner’s shoulder for support.

Try these sex positions next time; she’ll be begging for more. Light up the fire within her and watch your sex lives improve!
